Turn it into a 3 day weekend as well. Wouldn’t want it regularly mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leabrook Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 I would imagine the rugby fixtures get changed a lot more than football seeing as the football rarely moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Big game Bristol v Gloucester no problem, good to shake it up every now and then the odd Fri night or Sunday not everyone makes Saturdays. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't suit their narrative. Also, EFL rules state that in shared stadiums, football clubs fixtures must take priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately Steve and Maggie Lansdown. The chain gets a little more unclear at that level because of the different requirements for Guernsey companies.

Although we'll probably have less midweek games. Secondly games could be moved for TV. Thirdly quite a few of our games would get moved to the Sunday due to the other teams being involved in the Thursday euro games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the revenues from AG is included in our FFP calculations. Ultimately SL and his wife own it all so how it's all set up is kinda irrelevant really.
